Question 1

I'm really concerned because I've been on medication for the past three days, and I still have a 99.5-degree temperature. My test results showed that both typhoid and dengue IgM are weakly positive. Could there be something else going on, or is this type of fever expected? I'm not sure if I should be worried or if this is normal recovery.

Accepted Answer

You are on the right side no need to worry it takes time for the medicine to act and the infection to come under control,consume bland diet and stay hydrated.

Question 2

I'm wondering if, after being exposed to HIV, the antibodies still show up in the body even four years later. Is there any possibility that they might vanish over time? And if they might disappear, would they still be detectable after a long period?

Accepted Answer

Yes, HIV antibodies can remain present in the human body for many years after exposure. In some cases, the antibodies may decrease over time but they are usually detectable even after a long period. It is important to note that HIV testing is still recommended for accurate diagnosis and monitoring of the infection.

Question 3

I had sex multiple times with a sex worker and even tried oral. I'm kinda worried now, is there any chance I might have caught an STD or even HIV from this?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there's a risk of contracting STDs, including HIV, especially if protection wasn't used consistently. Oral sex carries a lower risk but isn't completely safe. It's important to get tested promptly to ensure your health and peace of mind.

I work in a medical lab and was doing some rapid blood tests when a drop of HIV positive serum accidentally got into my eye. I didn't think to wash it out until about an hour later when my eye started getting irritated. How likely is it that I could contract HIV this way, through my eye?

no
